Incised Remued 5B
5 (Early Series) THREE SHAPES (?)
Two shapes are recorded with this number but there may have been a third shape too, earlier than them.
- The numbering system was introduced in 1934. A number as low as 5 would have been allocated right at the start. The 'missing' shape (if it exists) is most likely PPP, discontinued during 1934. If you have an example we'd love to hear from you - contact us.
- Animal decoration of the sort seen here is thought to date from 1935 or later. The animal modelling is attributed to John Castle-Harris who is believed to have been at Premier during 1935 - no earlier.
- The number incised on the 'plump pot' below seems anomalous. Other examples of this shape are numbered 402/3, much later in the Early Series, and its glaze also points to it being later.
